Norton 076607-88261 Bench Pedestal Grinding Wheel 6x1x1

Product Description

The NORTON 076607-88261 is a high-speed bench and pedestal grinding wheel engineered for precision material removal in shop and trade environments. Constructed from white aluminum oxide abrasive, this wheel delivers a cool, free-cutting action well suited for sharpening high-speed steel tooling, drill bits, and cutting edges where heat buildup must be minimized. The wheel measures 6 inches in diameter by 1 inch wide with a 1-inch arbor bore and carries a medium 60-grit rating. It is rated to a maximum of 4140 RPM, making it appropriate for standard bench grinder and pedestal grinder spindle speeds. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers and users.

This wheel is designed for use on bench grinders and pedestal grinders commonly found in maintenance shops, fabrication facilities, and trade service environments. The 60-grit medium grade balances stock removal speed with surface finish, making it a practical choice for general tool sharpening and light material grinding tasks. Its white aluminum oxide composition makes it particularly effective on carbon steel, high-speed steel, and similar ferrous materials where minimizing heat distortion at the cutting edge is a priority.

Installation Notes

Grinding wheel mounting should be performed by a qualified technician following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels. Always power down and lock out the grinder before removing or installing a wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before mounting and perform a ring test per standard procedure. Never exceed the maximum RPM marked on the wheel, and always use the appropriate flanges and blotters supplied or recommended by the grinder manufacturer.
